Bug with faction-specific mercenaries?

[AqD]

Hi all!

I found that AI factions never seem to recruit mercenaries with "restrict" options in Alexander, can anyone confirm this?? :hmmm:

When you say never, you mean even when mercs are much cheaper than regular units and better stats etc?

No but AI in my mod usually recruit many mercs. They hire all kinds of mercenary units regardless of the cost and stats, but somehow the units with "restrict" setting are just skipped for the factions which should be able to recruit them. :hmmm:

Try reversing the conditions, making the restricted mercs global and vice versa. See if the AI changes its preferences.

hmmm yeah. They began recruiting the unit from merc pool now - just one, but one in first 10 years is much more than 0 in 40 years I wonder if anyone else could confirm this though..
